54 for you with 55 and pretty good visibility on our coast at half moon bay. so the marine layer is from about 1200 feet to over 3,000 feet. it will again to clear and we will see the sunshine in the east bay valleys maybe around 8:00, 9:00. then it works westward. but the clouds staying along the shoreline. just partly cloudy around the san mateo coast today with temperatures running as much as 10 degrees below average. 60s and 7 to -- 70s later today. the fog is starting to clear in the next couple hours, but it does get hung up by about the 2:00 hour. you will notice it's a close call around sausalito for the arts festival there, mid-60s. but for milbrae, more clouds throughout much of the day. 67 for a high for you. look at all those 80s out toward the sacramento valley. we have a delta breeze and that's allowing for the cool marine air to work its way into

the east of us and allowing for a respite into the valleys. but, boy, maybe you would like some summer warmth around here. it's on the way. here's the upper level trough that today is to the west of us and that's why we are so cool. but once it slides to the east, we get behind it and high pressure begins to build in from the south. so 79 degrees was the average temperature in reno for the entire month of august. and that is the all-time warmest august since 1888. so we've got warm temperatures in the sierra. the southern sierra 88, while the cool fog continues to linger from big sur and even in southern california, starting out with gray skies. 88 for los angeles later on today. 70 san mateo. so some afternoon sun shine here. a cool 60 half moon bay with 72 in vallejo. looks about 80 in livermore. so really about eight or nine degrees below where you should be. 77 in gilroy and afternoon sun in santa cruz at 69. so ten degrees of warming tomorrow.

we will warm it up another five on labor day. keep it that way on tuesday. and then slowly we cool it back. so some of our warmest weather, you know, on the way. it looks like our warm weather is going to stick around through next weekend. >> you told me one time temperature-wise, if you just look at temperatures, september, october, that's san francisco's summer, and we all know how nice it can get around here after the time it was supposed to be nice and people joke about the other summer. >> he they say we are ahead of the curve here. well, climatologygy speaking, maybe not. >> thanks a lot. the 60th edition of the sausalito arts festival is this weekend, kicking off with a sold out gala tonight and great artwork and some controversy. don sanchez has a preview. >> it's such a prestigious festival. >> it's what attracted her to the job. artists want to get in here, 2714 showing off their works in

14 categories. george sumner has been exhibiting for 45 years. >> it has some very focused art audience. not only for paintings, but for all the arts. >> it's because the works are judged by those selected by the artists. >> we started asking them at the end of every show to tell us the person they felt that their category represented that category better than anybody else. give us their name. >> this is probably the most viewed artwork this year, the show poster. >> this year being the 60th annual, i wanted to incorporate all kinds of things that represent the 60th annual. >> she carved this wood block for the original print and colored it with watered colors. the best of the pros are here. in the bay model there are student works from the botanical gardens. the artists do well and sausalito benefits with visitors and proceeds. >> all the money goes back to the local community. all the proceeds from the festival goes back to grants and scholarships. it's a great economic impact that way. >> and there is an exhibit.

the american icons competition depicting the golden gate bridge and one by douglas brett that's created controversy. it was temporarily taken off the website because, warning, it shows a person jumping off the bridge. >> the piece was a piece that did, you know, was sensitive to some people. >> so the board added this disclaimer. it is still in the show. >> the image is very powerful, it's very simplistic, and i have to tell you, i mean, it makes you think for a second when you look at something like that. but that's what art does. >> don sanchez reporting. there's another area art festival to check out this weekend. the 42nd annual milbrae art and wine festival kicking off at 10:00 this morning, billed as the last blast of summer. it's on broadway, one block west of the eeal. they are talking about maybe 100,000 people showing up for that one. what about this nor the wakeup call? mountain view and orange juice.

it's new this morning on the breakfast menu at taco bell. mountain view and it's going to be mixed at the restaurant. pepsico, the company who makes it, says they will introduce their own brew mixed with juice sometime next year. they won the lottery but didn't show up to claim their millions. why a bay area winner almost missed out on his amazing

>> the bay area's newest lottery millionaires are glad a relative watches more tv than they do. vladimir hit a $52 million mega millions jackpot in late july and they finally picked up their prize yesterday. they didn't even know they won they didn't know until they showed a surveillance camera on tv showing vlad buying the ticket. a relative saw it on tv and called with the big news. >> then i saw my picture, woke up my wife, and she goes, what? and then i said we are wanted. [laughter] >> wow! the story gets even better because vladimir was recently laid off. his family had been living with friends. that's over. but she said she's going to keep working as a hospital nursing assistant. she will probably feel a little more free to talk back to the boss if that suits her fancy. what is going on forecast wise on this labor day weekend? >> a lot of 60s and 70s today. tomorrow we warm up and an offer shore flow the rest of the holiday weekend. we are talking lots of heatl
